Is it calibrated with numbers like a Scott's spreader (most bags give coverage numbers seem to expect you to have a Scott's spreader)? Thanks.

There are numbers but they are different from the Scott's numbers. I remember seeing a conversion table on the internet but we just use 0/25/50/75/100% "slot open percent". It's a great, durable spreader and it's worth the workaround on the calibration numbers.

I don't know how a Scott's spreader is calibrated. The Earthway Spreader has numbers which relate to the weight of material per area being spread. Most products such as fertilizer, for example, either give the setting for a specific spreader or will tell you how much material to be spread per area. Either way, with the calibration numbers on the Earthway spreader you can get the correct amount of material spread over your area.

It makes no reference to Scott's but it does provide you the translation tables to figure out the Earthway setting based on the square foot coverage of the product you are using whether it is Scott's or not. This spreader BTW is far much better quality that you would get from a Scott's comparable spreader.

Yes. There are numbers on the handle to adjust the opening that coorespond to the recommendations on the bag of fertilizer.

No, it should be calibrated. Make sure you have it set to read salinity. The pool water should read around 0.3 percent, or 3 ppt or 3000 ppm. My chlorinator also reads the amount of salt and it agrees well with this instrument.

Don't know what kind of spreader you have but the one I got when I ordered my seed had instructions on how to adjust it for that seed. Worked perfectly. No fast running out at all. Hope this is helpful.

Mine came with a 100 Gram weight to calibrate... I let something a bit heavier sit on it the other day and say a number in the 300's and it blanked. On the box there are 2 "check boxes", a 100 Gram Capacity and a 200 Gram Capacity. My check box is the 100 gram version. Again though, I have mistakenly seen over 300 on mine (causing blank), I just don't know that it was accurate as I wasn't trying to get a measurement.

ALWAYS read AND follow label directions . Different situations/soil types, etc. gives different coverages. Download the label if you have not yet ordered the product. I do not have a label here now. One can use split applications if the product amounts per unit area are reduced.

Not that I know of. I had trouble using scotts weed & feed .It says 3.1/4 on the Bag and it was way too much. I'm going to call Scotts as it's a new formula. sorry i can't help you at present...

Hi Alex,That does mean that it can be calibrated. We also have a video to walk you through the process see it here. http://youtu.be/uN5Xrm3CPEw

I don't have my lime sack, so I cannot comment about 60 mesh. However it spread the lime pellets perfectly and by adjusting the setting I spread a second bag of lime that looked more like fine dirt. [I thought I was getting pellets and someone had laid it down in the wrong stack, no worries.]

Yes you are The perimeter of the bag doesn't change much. The bag swells up and gets thick and very heavy. Hope that makes sense.

Lol.I haven't tried yet. As I stated,mine is off by 10lbs. I guess check on line and see if they have instructions on how to calibrate. Good luck

It can, but it is harder to fine tune the amount being spread. Because it is "high output" the opening can go much wider than a normal spreader but it can be closed down, just not accurately. (think of it as having an output scale of 0-100 vs 0-20)

They claim 5,000 sq ft on the bag, I got more like 1,500 - 2,000 using a Scotts Edge guard spreader set a bit lower than recommended. Pretty typical, all of these companies over estimate coverage on the bag.

Yes, check your bag of grass seeds (instructions) as to which spreader to use for seeding your lawn.

I have owned a couple of them, and I have never calibrated...so I would say no...it's a very simple, pedometer...

I have not done a calibration to establish +/_, however, the fill gauge reading and pressure fill adjustments was also confirmed by my GMC Truck pressure sensor system monitor.

flat out we havent a clue how accurate the number is. but the one I bought is consistant. the calibration knob is used to get your SWR its not used to calibrate the meter

No it doesn't need to be calibrated. I would say it's a guide. We had fun over Christmas testing everyone from people who drank nothing to a person that did a shot before testing. It seemed pretty accurate.
